Seeker of Teyvat

"It's the same as what Ke Qing said. Ke Qing also said that the Kitchen God is not Lord Yan, but another demon god. She wants to investigate this matter just to find out the truth about the Kitchen God."

Paimeng's tone was a little showy: "Daoyi, you know, there is a folk anecdote in Liyue. It is said that the ancients once found the Kitchen God's shrine, but there was no statue of the god in it, only a huge stone with a smooth surface. The huge stone is in It was lost during subsequent transportation and its whereabouts are still unknown, and this stone happens to have the same characteristics. Maybe it is the one that disappeared that year."

"Oh, is there such a rumor? It's really unheard of!" Wang Daoyi cooperated with Paimeng and made a surprised look.

Ying frowned and looked at the pompous Wang Daoyi, feeling a sense of déjà vu in her heart, as if she had gone back to the time when Wang Daoyi hid her secret and helped Zhongli complete his plan.

However, Ying did not immediately question anything. She felt that Wang Daoyi should know something, but he would not harm them. He probably had something to hide.

What Ying doesn't know is that Wang Daoyi does know, but it's not that it's unspeakable, but simply because he wants Xiangling to discover Guoba's identity on his own.

Chapter 141: The Millennium Heritage of the General Affairs Department

While chatting, the aroma emanated from the kitchen, making people salivate.

"Goo~"

Paimon suddenly covered his stomach with a shy expression on his face.

"Haha, speaking of which, I'm a little hungry too." Wang Daoyi showed an understanding smile, then stood up and walked to the kitchen, "I'll go help Xiang Ling, you guys wait a moment."

With Wang Daoyi's help, several delicacies were served on the table in a short time.

"Boiled fish with shrimp dumplings, a combination of movement and stillness that Hu Tao said."

"Mixed with mint, it clears the heart. I have never made any medicinal food, so I will give it a try today."

"Golden Shrimp Balls, this dish has a delicate appearance and mellow aroma. The arrangement seems simple, but it requires very fine skills. It is very suitable for Miss Ningguang's needs, and Keqing also likes to eat this."

"Pair it with steaming rice. Come on, everyone has a try."

Xiang Ling greeted warmly.

When it comes to eating, Paimon always takes the lead.

Taking her special chopsticks, she attacks.

"Hmm..." The hot food went into his mouth, making a satisfying sound.

"How is it, how is it?" Xiangling looked at Paimeng expectantly.

"Hmm... I ate too hastily, so I didn't taste it." Paimon smiled embarrassedly, then stretched out his chopsticks again, "I'll have another bite and taste it carefully."

Another chopstick, this time Zhu Bajie did not swallow the ginseng fruit, but chewed and tasted it carefully.

"Oh, the spicy and delicious flavor of the boiled fish, coupled with the smoothness of the shrimp dumplings, is a combination of movement and stillness, a 'pika' feeling."

In Xiangling's expectant eyes, Paimon gave a very high evaluation.

'Pika' is Paimon's highest praise for food.

"Hey, is it true? Hehe, I really need to take advice from others." Paimon's comment made Xiangling very happy.

Wang Daoyi also stretched out his chopsticks and pointed at the only cold dish.

Chopped mint is mixed in the pure heart, and the secret ingredient prepared from Xiangling is stirred in.

He picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth.

The coolness of the mint is mixed with the refreshing fragrance. Although it is slightly bitter, the taste of the secret seasoning offsets the bitterness very well.

Wang Daoyi's eyes lit up and he gave Xiang Ling a thumbs up.

"You are very talented in making medicinal meals." He picked up the face towel and wiped the remaining juice from the corner of his mouth. Wang Daoyi looked at Xiang Ling and said, "I also have a book called "Basic Pharmacology" over there, which was also given to me by Dr. Atractylodes. Come back later. Take it and have a look, it might help."

"Okay." Xiang Ling nodded. There was no need to be polite between her and Wang Daoyi.

On the other side, Yingya held a golden shrimp ball and put it into his mouth.

The deep-fried shrimp dish is fragrant at first sight, and the sweetness of the shrimp meat is revealed in the crispy potatoes.

With its small and cute appearance, it makes people unable to resist its appetite.

Narrowing her eyes happily, Yingye gave Xiangling a thumbs up.

"good to eat!"

The short evaluation is the diners' intuitive evaluation of the chef's skills.

After receiving three good reviews, Xiang Ling finally felt relieved and sat down to eat together.

Dining room.

"Since Keqing said she wanted to investigate the connection between the boulder and the Kitchen God, do you have a plan?" Wang Daoyi asked.

Ying nodded: "Keqing said that there are many ancient Liyue books in Qingce Village, and I want to go there first to inquire about the news."

"Qingce Village is suitable." Wang Daoyi nodded slightly, "Qingce Village has many warehouses of large chambers of commerce. Those warehouses store some ancient gadgets. Maybe they really have the information you want."

"I always feel like you are hiding something, Daoyi." Ying complained silently.

"Ha..." Wang Daoyi chuckled, "Everyone has their own secrets, right? Ying, these secrets will be revealed to you during the journey. There is no need to rush. You always have enough time."

"The Riddler." Ying pouted, Wang Daoyi definitely knew a lot of inside information.

However, Ying did not continue to ask. Wang Daoyi's words reminded her that when she was in the abyss ruins, her brother Kong also said words like journey, destination, and time.

Xiang Ling glanced at Wang Daoyi and Ying in confusion, wondering what riddle these two people were talking about.

As for Paimon, she is addicted to food and can't help herself.

……

Early the next morning, a group of four people appeared at the door of Wanmin Hall.

"So why did you pull me in?" Wang Daoyi looked at Xiang Ling with a little surprise.

This morning, he finished Xiangling's love breakfast at Wanmin Hall. Just as he was about to go home and read a book, Xiangling grabbed him and asked him to go to Qingce Village with him.

"Ying said that if you read a lot, you can definitely find the records we want from those ancient books, so we must bring you with us." Xiangling smiled and narrowed her eyes. She said it was Ying's suggestion, but in fact it was her. I want to spend more time with Wang Daoyi.

Yingye nodded, with a hint of provocation in his eyes: "Yes, you can definitely be of great help."

It became clear to Wang Dao that she was taking revenge for being the Riddler at the dinner table yesterday.

"Okay, okay." He shrugged helplessly, Wang Dao looked at Keqing, "Then how do we get to Qingce Village? We don't know how to ride there. It will take at least half a month to go back and forth."

Qingce Village is relatively far from Liyue Port. For ordinary people, it would take ten days and a half to reach Qingce Village from Liyue Port. If you walk more slowly, it would be normal for you to walk for a month.

"Why do you think the orders from the General Affairs Department can always be transmitted to Qingce Village in time?" Ke Qing rolled her eyes. It was not the previous large-scale mission, but a few people's small actions, and still walking, it was too much to look down on her.

"Could we go by airship?" Wang Daoyi asked in surprise.

"Huh?" Ke Qing glanced at Wang Daoyi, and then said a little strangely, "Although we are not going by spaceship, how did you know that the General Affairs Department has a spaceship? This kind of thing should not be available to the 'ordinary people' yet. Is it open?"

The General Affairs Department does have such a thing as a spaceship. Of course, it is not the steel spaceship we think of, but a spaceship that has been modified from a slime transport balloon to increase its size and add a power unit.

It is equivalent to a strange gas airship.

This was developed by the General Affairs Department after the Battle of Orsay, due to insufficient air power, which resulted in the Qunyu Pavilion being able to block the Demon God alone. In order to prevent this situation from happening again.

Why did Wang Daoyi know?

The main reason is that the research and development of airships requires the use of certain mechanical devices, and a certain kindergarten scholar received some outsourcing orders from time to time, and Wang Daoyi knew about it.

Seeing that Wang Daoyi didn't answer, Ke Qing didn't care. Anyway, although the airship project has not been made public, some of the chambers of commerce that provided the materials knew the information, and it was normal for it to leak.

"We don't take airships, we use better things." With a slightly mysterious smile, Ke Qing led a group of people towards Yuehai Pavilion.

After half an hour.

Wang Daoyi looked at what was in front of him with some disbelief in his eyes.

"Is this... an anchor point?... No, is it a leyline shuttle device?"

Wang Daoyi had to be shocked. He made a promise in exchange for the Earth Vein Shuttle Technology from Daine. Now he has only managed to fully understand part of it and can only travel short distances. Of course, this short distance was for Dine before. The kind that takes him on cross-country trips.

If it was like traveling from Liyue Port to Dihuazhou, he could still do it.

And Keqing took him to see a faint blue device.

Although Keqing did not introduce it, Wang Daoyi's eyesight was able to recognize the identity of this device at a glance.

"Oh, you are indeed very knowledgeable. You actually recognized it right away." Ke Qing looked at Wang Daoyi in surprise. You must know that the first time she saw this device, it was introduced to her by someone else. Got some understanding.

"General Affairs Department, you actually still have this kind of technology?" Wang Daoyi calmed down before asking Keqing.

"Huh? Do you think the General Affairs Department is useless?" Keqing asked.

Wang Dao was speechless: "...That's not what I meant,...it's just...this kind of technology is a little unbelievable to me."

"Humph!" He snorted coldly, Ke Qing said with a little pride, "Qixing has assisted the emperor in ruling Liyue for more than a thousand years, and the General Affairs Department has also existed for the same time. For such a long time, you wouldn't think that the General Affairs Department is anything. There’s no accumulation at all.”

"Those strange devices all over the continent of Teyvat, although we still don't understand how they operate, but after studying them, we simply imitated some of their functions. This device does not have the ability to suppress earth veins, and it needs It’s a lot of energy, but it’s more than enough to teleport us to Qingce Village.”

Behind the proud tone, Keqing actually had something left to say.

In the past, in Liyue, immortals and mortals were not as alienated as they are now. At that time, in Liyue, with the help of immortals, the General Affairs Department was still taking shape and accumulated a large amount of research results.

The imitation machine shown before was just a simple imitation. After some modifications by the Immortal, it could actually deal with demon-level enemies. It can be seen that the R&D team hidden behind the General Affairs Department has a very solid foundation. .

Wang Dao nodded and agreed with Keqing's statement: "That is indeed because I underestimated the General Affairs Department."

He really recognized the ability of the General Affairs Department. He can't understand the anchor point now. The General Affairs Department can actually imitate it. It has to be said that behind the General Affairs Department, there are definitely top alchemy masters and leyline scholars. .

Chapter 142: Its shape is like a dragon, its long tail blocks the sun; its claws control fire, and it grants wisdom to people

A faint blue light bloomed, wrapped in gentle earth energy, and Wang Daoyi felt that he was moving rapidly.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the faint blue light in front of him dissipated, revealing the empty warehouse space.

Without paying attention to where he was, Wang Dao turned to look at Ying: "Ying, how do you feel about this teleportation?"

"It's very comfortable. I don't feel oppressed. It's completely different from the feeling of anchor points in the wild." Ying replied softly.

Wang Dao nodded: "It should be because it is not established at a key leyline point. There is no need to suppress the leyline, so it will not be eroded by the energy of the leyline. No, it should be that the general leyline energy is not enough to erode the protection of this device. "

The two people's low-pitched exchange did not attract the attention of others.

Keqing clicked a few times on a small platform next to the device.

The door to the warehouse opened, and several Qianyan troops carrying special devices came in.

"Lord Yuheng!" Qian Yanjun saluted Keqing.

Keqing nodded: "Let's check the device."

Then he looked at Wang Daoyi: "This kind of device needs to be inspected after a shuttle to avoid damage to the device caused by the escape of earth vein energy, so it cannot be applied on a large scale."

Wang Dao nodded, and it was normal to conduct long-term and frequent inspections using earth-line energy devices. Not all forces had Kanria's sky-breaking means of utilizing earth-line energy.

"Let's go, this is the core of the warehouse area. We have to go to Grandma Ruoxin first to ask which warehouses store ancient books." Keqing took the lead and walked out.

As the largest storage place for old items in Liyue, the warehouses in Qingcezhuang include those belonging to major chambers of commerce, the General Affairs Department, and even some rented by foreign chambers of commerce. Even Keqing, a Seven Star, does not know which warehouses have them. which goods.

As the top manager of Qingce Village, Grandma Ruoxin has mastered all the information in the warehouse. This is one of the reasons why Keqing is very polite every time she sees Grandma Ruoxin.

The group left the warehouse area and quickly passed through the residential area and waterwheel area.

Like every time he came here, Keqing was warmly welcomed by the residents. Of course, Wang Daoyi was also recognized this time.

Although many ordinary residents did not know that it was Wang Daoyi who fought against Orochi in Qingce Village due to Qixing's order, the Qingce Village student aid plan proposed by Wang Daoyi has spread throughout the entire Liyue land with the help of Ning Guang. This has improved his reputation among the people, especially in the Qingcezhuang area, and he is already a very outstanding celebrity.

After politely bidding farewell to the enthusiastic residents, the group finally arrived in front of Grandma Ruoxin.

"Oh, it's you, Lord Yuheng, Xiaoyi, Xiangling and Traveler." Grandma Ruoxin recognized the person at a glance.

"Grandma, how are you doing lately? Are you feeling well?" Wang Daoyi held Grandma Ruoxin's hand and asked with concern.

"Okay, great, I can still work for at least ten years with my old bones." Grandma Ruoxin patted Wang Daoyi's hand and replied happily.

Paimeng flew to Grandma Ruoxin: "Grandma Ruoxin, we would like to ask you some questions."

"Huh? If you want anything, tell me." The old woman looked at Paimon.

"Where are the ancient books in Qingce Village? It needs to be very old!" Paimon asked, "By the way, it'd better be about Liyue."

The old woman frowned and thought for a while before speaking: "Qingce Village has many warehouses containing ancient books. However, when it comes to ancient books about Liyue, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has the most warehouses. Theirs The young master will often come over and read books."

"The young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, you are talking about Xingqiu!" Ke Qing answered.
